The Death & Life of Arturo Delgado
The BreakThrough Book 3
by Ken La Salle
A suitcase full of alien diamonds…
It’s everything Arturo Delgado has always wanted.
And it didn’t come cheap.
Art had once been the proprietor of one of Mexico’s hottest up and coming bars until Max Dedge had flown in with some beautiful wizard and burned the place to the ground. Art’s only option had been to follow Max from nation to nation, from world to world, until the debt was paid.
And did Max pay it? No. He was off on some adventure to another world, a world with magic and aliens and a cave full of diamonds, which Max Dedge refused to share. The only alternative left to Art was to steal the diamonds for himself and run before Max Dedge could find him.
Now, he’s looking for a way to sell a suitcase full of alien diamonds and doing his best not to be traced. In Washington State, he stops at a little restaurant owned by Sue Jorgensen (future Queen of Space) and devises a plan that will leave him rich for life and show the great Max Dedge who came out on top.
That’s all that matters. Not the eggplant aliens coming to destroy the world. Not the pasty slaves who sound like they came out of a 1970s sitcom. Not the Queen of Space.
All that matters now is a suitcase full of alien diamonds… and making Max Dedge pay.
RATING & REVIEW
5 out of 5
This book, out of all three, really drives home the noir x Hitchhiker’s Guide vibes, and I loved every minute of it. We’ve had a book that was focused on Max, and one on Sue, and it was nice to finally have one focused on the guy caught in the middle of it all, Arturo. I think one of my favorite parts of this is its diamonds and a need for revenge that drive Arturo’s motivations, it just rings so true to his character, and it ended up being a fun, interesting story. The opening chapter had me giggling a bit, just the imagery in it. You can practically see it all unfolding, and if nothing else, Arturo is one of the most unlucky criminals on Earth. If you enjoy high stakes, a bit of fun, and some cheeky noir vibes, you’re going to absolutely adore this series! You don’t have to read the previous two books to enjoy this one, but you’d be missing out if you didn’t.
